CSI 300 Index explained

CSI 300 Index
Operator:China Securities Index Company
Constituents:300
Cap Level:large to medium cap

The CSI 300 is a capitalization-weighted stock market index designed to replicate the performance of the top 300 stocks traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. It has two sub-indexes: the CSI 100 Index and the CSI 200 Index. Over the years, it has been deemed the Chinese counterpart of the S&P 500 index and a better gauge of the Chinese stock market than the more traditional SSE Composite Index.

The index is compiled by the China Securities Index Company, Ltd.[1]

It has been calculated since April 8, 2005. Its value is normalized relative to a base of 1000 on December 31, 2004.[2]

It is considered to be a blue chip index for Mainland China stock exchanges.[3]

As of January 25, 2024, the index is on a multiple-year decline, hitting 5 year lows.[4]
